Until today I'd been seeing references to the site Hillaryis44.org, but after visiting there...wow, it's no wonder her campaign is so out of step. First they callously offended African Americans, now they're writing off the progressive blogosphere. Now I have no idea whether this site is endorsed by the campaign or if this is just a rogue fan club that likes to rant (there's no FAQ page that identifies the site's origins, funding, etc). Either way, lets say it might be in HRC 08's best interest to try to...shut this blog down maybe? I mean there's not much I can say about this, the bitterness of the following snippets says it all.
Follow me to witness an astounding rhetorical exhibition...
The front page story is entitled "Sunshine Sunday with Hillary Clinton" but judging from the lead-in the forecast is for heavy overcast with a 90 percent chance possiblity of overt smugness:
After last night’s shameless Big Media cable hatefest (exceptions granted to Pat Buchanan and the mild peeps from Jeffrey Toobin) we get back to the issues which will determine the outcome of the Democratic Party nomination race.
We lost, and everybody hates us. But fear not everybody. While Obama is receiving an endorsement soon from Ted Kennedy, we have an endorsement of our own from a former, um, presidential candidate and race relations expert: Patrick Buchanan!
In other important news, evidently James Carville and Paul Begala were dumped by CNN perhaps as a response to Markos urging them to do so because they are, for all intents and purposes, Hillary supporters who really don't like to let people know that. Are these articulate Clinton bloggers, like, bitter much? Well let's see...
Carville and Begala have been targeted for a long time by the denizens of Kookville and other assorted Hillary Hating Naderites and PINOs. The Kooks whined that Carville and Begala did not disclose their love of Hillary and their support of Hillary. Fine. We love and are all for full disclosure. Point taken. CNN however has now gotten rid of the Hillary supporting duo. Disclosure is not the issue now, CNN has simply removed them.
PINOs? What's a PINO? Oh I get it. Progessive in Name Only. Meaning, if you aren't a Hillary shill, you are not a progressive. Meanwhile, the rest of you DKos scum are... Hillary Hating Naderites!
Sacre bleu!
I guess this is what we get for not embracing the tortured lobbyists. Gee.
Anyway, I think I'm getting the joke now, there's just no way this can be a sanctioned Hillary website. Still, I'm sure Markos will be grinding his teeth for a few weeks after the next salvo:
Of course the Head Kook himself has been hired by Newsweek magazine to represent Democrats. Problem is, the Head Kook is not a Democrat. Newsweek hired a dyed in the wool Republican to represent Republican views on its pages - Karl Rove. Democrats get the Head Kook. The Head Kook loves attacking Democrats while pretending to support Democrats. But the Head Kook is a self-interested “libertarian” or somesuch. And — the Head Kook has endorsed Obama. Does the Head Kook disclose that? The Head Kook has trashed Hillary (recall the great “waitress tips” witch hunt) on his orange sulfur, waste enhancement plant, which we lovingly and accurately call DailyKooks.
Nuff said I reckon. Now back to Sunshine Sunday everybody!!!!
